begging me and that the matter should not go beyond this level. I asked them
why did they go to the EFCC to tell lies. Why did they have to lie that money
came from the Office of the National Security Adviser? If the money is for me
why did they have to link with me what is not,” he said in a news release
circulated by his media aide. But the ED said they only came to see the
governor. Asked whether the bank really dissociated itself from the claim by
the governor that it was part of the funding of the election, Shola said the
spokesman for the bank was not on the team and could not say anything. The
EFCC, on Monday, June 20, froze two personal accounts of the governor and one
belonging to his company, Spotless Investments, in the course of its
investigations into N4.7billion Fayose allegedly received from the Office of

since denied receiving any money, claiming it was Zenith Bank that majorly
